Those are just examples of socialism done very badly. Plenty of other
examples of capitalism done very badly too.

Which of course the right wing on here are very careful to not
mention.

Gosh chaps, you mean that the NHS, roads and that, are provided by the
Government? Gosh, thanks for telling me. I mean, who knew, eh?

So much for your claim that socialism never works.

It doesn't.

Pity about Norway where it clearly does. And the NHS too.

Just becaue something is 'provided by the government' doesn't make it
socialism.

Yes it does, particularly with government schools, government doing
most of the roads and the police and health care.

Nazi deatrh camps were 'provided by the government'.

Yes, not everything government does is good. Same with capitalism,
monopolies are an example of bad capitalism.

But governments are almost entirely monopolies too.
Although that is a
rather a bad example as Hitler WAS a socialist.

Yes.

Lets say that prisons are provided by te government. Is that socialism?

Yes.
